4 claims.

My invention relates to an improvement in a baby vcarriage bed and its novelty consists in the K combination and arrangement of parts as will be Y more fully hereinafter pointed out. s A baby carriage bed involves several problems which are not readily solved. First it must be comfortable and in all Ways yieldable as the baby lies thereon. It must also be free from injury by n water and finally should provide easy access to 10Y andperrnit use Vof the valuable storage space thereunder.

My device combines all three of these features being supported on resilient supports which enable it to yield easily in any direction but pre- 15 venting too great a tilt and being impervious to liquids and permitting easy access to the storage `space beneath it which is kept free for use.v

Referring to the drawings Figure l is a longitudinal vertical section showing my structure zo as mounted in a baby carriage body, the upper portion of which is broken away for convenience in illustration.

Figure 2 is a cro-ss vertical section on the line Y 2--2 in Figure l. f

p YFigure 3 is a top plan view of the baby carriage body with my structuremounted therein.

In the drawings 4 is a baby carriage body of the coach type having the usual longitudinal -frame members 22 and 23 and an inner frame 5 Vrunning around the inner edge of said body 4 at the same level as bed frame 6 which is mounted therein and securely fastened to the upper ends of springs 1 by means of bolts 8, said springs 'I being turned sharply inwardly at their upper ends so as to fasten under said bolts 8 in the `usual manner. Y

The lower ends of said springs 'l are fastened in the same manner as the upper ends to cross bar frame members 9 by means of bolts I0 which through said cross bars 9 and also through kthe iat portion of the body supporting spring II which runs the entire length of the carriage body 4.

Ateach end of the bed frame 6 is rigidly secured a hard rubber guide block I2 which is flexible and slippery and guideways I3 are cut in the ends of the inner frame 5 and extended by extension guide members I4 rigidly secured irnmediately below said frame 5 and which are f adapted to receive and guide said guide blocks I2.'A A limiting bar I5 is rigidly secured across the upper end of the guideways I3 to the frame iat I6 and the lower ends of guideways i3 and I4 are blocked by the curved ends of body 4.

' 55." The bed frame 6 has'a right angle cut out edge 2I along both longitudinal edges adapted to receive and support cover members I1, I8 and I9 and a finger out out 20 is cut in cover I9 to facilitate the easy lifting of said cover I9 therebiT making the covers I8 and I1 readily accessible for 5 removal and replacement.

The bed as thus constructed, being mounted on the four resilient springs will readily tilt in any direction as the guide blocks I2 will yield exibly and slide easily in guideways I3 and extensions m I4 so that the plane of the bed frame `6 and the cover members Il, I8 and I9 mounted in position thereon will be varied in any and all directions by the movement of the child as it lies or sits on the same and moves in different positions thereon. 15

The soft yielding of the springs I on which the bed frame 6 and its covers Il, I8 and I9 are supported therefore insures a perfect bed for the child, even though there were no mattress or pad used over the covers il, I8 and I9. 0

The tilting of the bed frame 6 and the covers supported thereon is also denitely controlled and limited by the flexible guide blocks I2 secured to each end of the bed frame 6 and which easily slide in and are controlled by the guideways 25 I3 and the extension guide members I4. The limiting bars I5 rigidly secured across the upper end of the guideways I3 prevents the guide blocks I2 from going beyond the same, particularly when the one end of the bed frame 6 is pressed 30 downwardly to the extreme position of the block l2 against the curved end of body 4 when the opposite end will naturally tilt upwardly but will be through this construction absolutely limited and controlled.

We therefore have a construction which permits of the easy throw of the bed but which limits it so as to prevent unnecessary or dangerous tilting of the bed frame 6 but insuring all of the ease and comfort which the easiest riding 40 bed can possibly furnish.

It will be seen further that this structure is impervious to water and that because of the Vready removal of the cover member I9 by means flexible means for guiding said bed frame permitting controlled side tilting and limited end tilting of said bed frame.

2. In a baby carriage body having an inner edge frame and a bottom frame and springs mounted on said bottom frame, a bed frame exibly lmounted on said springs supported on said bottom frame of said .body .and flexible means rfor guiding` and limiting the end tilting of sai bed frame comprising flexible slippery guiding blocks secured to each end of said bed trame :so `as to permit side tilting, and guide- Ways lwith an upper limiting bar across the top of said gudeways in alignment with said guiding blocks in said carriage body inner edge frame.

3. In a baby carriage body abed frame iiexibly mounted on the bottom of said body and exble easily sliding means operating in guideways mounted at each end of said carriage bottom for guiding and limiting in all directions the tilting of said bed frame.

-.4. Ln a `baby carriage body a bed frame flexibly mounted on the bottom of said body and exible means for guiding and limiting the tilting of said frame comprising a flexible slippery guiding block secured to each end of said bed frame and a guideway at each end4 of said body adjacent to and adapted to receive said blocks and means for limiting the extent of movement of the same.
